Goldman Sachs plans to conduct layoffs in April, using a strategic resource assessment approach, primarily targeting underperforming employees. The layoffs will affect all business lines and are expected to be smaller than 5% of last year's target. The layoffs will continue into the summer, with regular layoffs possibly occurring again by the end of the year.

Ask AI · Why did Goldman Sachs adopt the Strategic Resource Assessment approach for layoffs?

According to foreign media citing sources, Goldman Sachs plans to lay off underperforming employees in April.

Sources say that this round of layoffs is not a conventional annual layoff but a “Strategic Resource Assessment” (SRA, internally referred to as a one-time large-scale layoff), whereas the traditional approach typically cuts 1% to 3% of employees.

The first round of layoffs is expected to take place in April, with subsequent layoffs continuing into the summer.

This round of layoffs will affect all business lines at Goldman Sachs (including investment banking, asset management, and wealth management), but the scale is expected to be much smaller than last March’s layoff target (5%).

Insiders indicate that there may still be a possibility of conducting more traditional SRA layoffs later this year.
